Is dm used widely wherever you’re located?

  Its a pretty clumsy measurement so perhaps not “frequently” but it’s widely used yes (Scandinavia). For example windows and doors are standardized in dm, so a typical window is a 11x13 and a door is 9x21. It’s going to have some other measurement in reality like 1120x1310mm but the dm measurement is still used to reference the rough size.
